Is moissanite a real diamond?

Moissanite is not a diamond—it's a distinct gemstone with its own unique properties. Originally discovered in a meteor crater in 1893, today's moissanite is lab-created. It actually has more brilliance and fire than diamonds due to its higher refractive index (2.65 vs 2.42), while being nearly as hard (9.25 vs 10 on the Mohs scale).

Will moissanite pass a diamond tester?

Standard diamond testers measure thermal conductivity, and moissanite often passes these tests because both stones conduct heat similarly. Advanced testers that measure electrical conductivity can distinguish between them. We believe in transparency—our moissanite is beautiful in its own right.

Does moissanite get cloudy over time?

No, moissanite does not get cloudy, lose its sparkle, or change color over time. It's a stable, durable gemstone that maintains its brilliance for a lifetime with proper care. Unlike some simulants, moissanite is highly resistant to scratching, heat, and everyday chemicals.

Can I wear moissanite jewelry every day?

Absolutely! With a hardness of 9.25 on the Mohs scale (second only to diamond), moissanite is extremely durable and perfect for everyday wear, including engagement rings. We recommend removing jewelry during activities involving harsh chemicals or extreme impact.

What is your return policy?

We offer a 90-day worry-free return policy. If you're not 100% satisfied with your purchase, you can return it within 90 days for a full refund. All our moissanite jewelry also comes with a lifetime warranty covering manufacturing defects and stone clouding.

Pear Moissanite Sideways Teardrop Necklace | 0.8 DEW

About This Product

This is the necklace you reach for when you want quiet sparkle that still turns heads. A single pear-cut moissanite sits on its side along the chain, its tapered point angled outward like a suspended teardrop, so the stone reads as a soft, modern focal point rather than a formal drop. Set in a slim three-prong claw that grips only the edges, the gem is left almost fully open to the light. That matters, because moissanite carries a 2.65 refractive index against a diamond's 2.42, so this teardrop throws noticeably more rainbow fire with every turn of your neck. The stone measures roughly 5x7mm, about 0.8 carats DEW, and grades D-E-F colorless with VVS clarity for clean, icy-white brilliance and no visible tint. At 9.25 on the Mohs scale it shrugs off the daily knocks a delicate everyday piece has to survive. The pendant is fixed to a fine cable chain in your choice of white or yellow finish, both over a 925 sterling silver base, so it lies flat at the collarbone and layers cleanly under a taller pendant or a lariat. Expert take: a sideways pear is the most flattering way to wear this cut day to day, because the horizontal set keeps the point from catching on collars and the stone stays centered no matter how you move. It is an easy everyday solitaire, a bridal-adjacent gift, or a starter piece for a stacked-necklace look. Spec block: pear-cut moissanite, ~5x7mm / 0.8ct DEW, D-E-F color, VVS clarity, RI 2.65, 9.25 Mohs, three-prong setting, fine cable chain, 925 sterling silver plated in white or 18K yellow gold.
